Charcoal mask to the rescue!

Why do I have a shiny face? I'm over 50 (well over 50!), so shouldn't I have DRY skin now? 

Just when you think you have your skin type figured out, hormones or humidity or who-the-heck-knows-what? throws you a curveball, and you have too much oil. What's a girl to do? 

I reached for my trusty charcoal mask because I know it absorbs excess oil in addition to a whole lot of other things! And then I wondered if all of you know the many benefits of a charcoal mask, the ultimate skincare multitasker. 

And this week's blog was born!

Charcoal Mask - the ultimate skincare multitasker!

Benefits of Activated Charcoal

• exfoliates without stripping your face of natural oil

• deeply cleanses pores

• soothes acne

• removes blackheads

• tightens skin

• detoxifies & purifies the area

Some additional benefits of the charcoal mask that I use in the video are: brightening of the skin; reduction of fine lines and wrinkles; and more even skin tone

Benefits of Bentonite Clay

• absorbs excess sebum (oil)

• detoxifies

• calms inflamed skin

• removes impurities which leads to fewer pimples

• reduces the effect of toxins

• soothes poison ivy

I said I would show you a picture as the charcoal mask dried (and my mama taught me never to lie!).

My favorite part of this blog, by far, is hearing from YOU! 

What have you done to address sudden oily skin? Have you ever used a charcoal mask? What was your result?
